• Title: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles #33
• Comic Vine: link
• Writers: Kevin Eastman, Tom Waltz
• Artist: Mateus Santolouco

The Turtles exile ends as Leonardo, Raphael, Michelangelo, and Donatello return to New York. Still hiding in the shadows the brothers work to hone their skills at get the new lay of the land now that the Shredder and The Foot control the city.

Much of the rest of the comic deals with April and Casey readjusting to life back in the city. As April worries about what path Casey’s life will take, Casey searches out Hun, who has just learned Shredder was responsible for his son’s injuries, for a long overdue conversation.

Although the Turtles family appears to finally be healed, Casey’s is anything but as any enemy of the Shredder is an enemy of Hun. Unable to convince his son to leave the city, it’s likely that the next time the pair meet it will be as enemies.

I’m glad to see the Turtles back in NYC, but would have preferred they brougth Alopex with them. Mateus Santolouco returns to do the art for this issue providing some cool Hun/Shredder and Hun/Casey panels. Worth a look.
